Well…I think so and I’ve thought so for quite a while. Earlier this year when we were going through a corrective period; I spent a great deal of time studying the major indexes ($SPX, $COMPQ, $RUT, $DJIA). In doing so; I did what I urged many to do.

If you’ve followed financial media outlets for the past few months, you undoubtedly subscribe to the notion of, “if Hillary wins then this, if Trump wins then that”. In other words, it is “common knowledge” that a Trump win will tank the markets; while a Hillary win will act as a stabilizer. If you believe these statements to be true, then it would make sense to short the markets (if you believe Trump will be our next president) or long the markets if you’re expecting our next president to be Clinton.
